I moved here one year ago. My PCP said no opiates. I went to a pain clinic last week. Doc wants to give me 4 shots on my facets, 3 on my knee with a possibility of shots in the hip. He said my severe degenerative changes and one knee knee replacement already and hip arthritis is not indicative of opiates. Well I was on them before I came to Portland as my doc said to assist me to be "functional." Now 60 lbs, loss of muscles and depression due to pain and lack of sleep that has caused memory problems I feel very frustrated with the lack of pain management in Portland.

It is sad but true, it's almost impossible to find a new doctor that will prescribe any type of opiate medications out of fear of our government and their peers. It is tragic what is happening. Animals have more rights than people when it comes to pain. Doctors are cutting out pain meds and not giving help to those who need it to detox and as well some patients who have been on these meds for years will never get normal endorphins. What about the opiate patients with chronic pain like me who don't feel high off the medication? It just helps me to want to live and to be able to function. I had to detox off the Soma, morphine and oxy I was on and in just a couple weeks time the pain clinic I was going to discharged a bunch of patients with no reason, leaving us in the dark. I myself have had two attempts to dig my life out over pain being so bad. It's just not right. Good luck to anyone. It's time to write to our Representatives for this is a huge problem. It's getting to where you can't even be honest or it gets held against you. No wonder so many turn to illegal drug use.

OAG pain consultants in downtown Portland are amazing!!!! Although you do need a referral to see them. As long as your PC doesn't give their 2 cents on what they feel is best for you and they let OAG take care of it. I've been going there since 2010.

What doc did u transfer to in Oregon??? U said u transferred from jersey to Oregon and had no probs attaining your meds. I'm in Washington and am ready to commit suicide. I have a 14 yr old son and don't want to leave him behind. The posts I'm seeing on here are making things seem even more bleak than what I have and am experiencing. I have 13 disabilities in my back, neck and head. I'm 39 yrs old. The CDC has f***ed all chronic pain patients but exempted cancer patients.

I don't know how to start a online petition but I will look into it.....I feel like we have been hearing about this pain pill epidemic for a decade now and we have lost so many Doctors it is
is nearly impossible to get proper help so how, I ask is that we still have an epidemic with all the clean-up that has gone on for the past 8 years?? I have lost two good doctors to the effing medical board. There are Guidelines for Physicians but these are not laws.

I am the product of a botched lithotripsy. This procedure happened 14 years ago. I was left with pyloric spasm which has severe abdominal pain. I was treated successfully by a Doctor for 9 years. He retired and I am now left to fend for myself. Current doctors are unwilling to prescribe the necessary meds to treat this condition. I am in need of a doctor that will prescribe opioids for pain. Does anyone know of a doctor who can help?

Re: Cnai Westinonz (# 45)

The first go-to drug is neuronten. This drug is a nerve killer and doctors do not know how this drug works and how the drug knows which nerves to kill?? Lol. This drug which is notorious for putting on weight -- gained 80 lbs in 2 months, is freely prescribed by many doctors. The fact is rather than prescribe an opioid -- doctors are willing to shut down every nerve in your body. The medical community needs to re-evaluate all the way they function.

Re: Jennifer (# 195)

I would also like to aid in the effort to starting a petition. I am a Washington resident with over 13 chronic and deteriorating disabilities. I have been on disability for almost ten years. I went bankrupt in 2007 and lost EVERYTHING because I had seen so many doctors and went through every fricken therapy known to man along with trialing every non-narcotic pain med only to find out I had to take opiates. I have been bedridden for over five years until I was put on a therapeutic dose of pain meds. The pa was so abusive and would not let me take a career offered to me when I demonstrated QUALITY OF LIFE on a high dose of opiates!!! No doctor will see me. I cannot get a referral because I cannot find a pcp. My insurance (Regence) cannot find me one f***in provider in their network that will see me. This is bulls*** not getting access to care thanks to the CDC and the Governor in my state/drug addicts. All I have wanted was to be able to work. I WANT TO GO TO WORK AND GET OFF DISABILITY!!! All I need is my pain meds at a therapeutic dose. Why can't I get that so I can return to work? These pain clinics that have popped up after the CDC guidelines f***ed everyone has been discriminating and making money off disabled patients. An ARNP at the Washington State for Pain Mgt had the audacity to tell me if I could demonstrate that I could hold a job she would prescribe me 45mgs of oxycodone a day.

I am disabled and on disability, I do not need to demonstrate s***!!! I want to go to work myself. I have been bedridden on 60mgs of oxycodone and she is only gonna prescribe 45mgs? Told me that I had to get a job first and provide proof of this!!! Who the hell does she think she is? Oh and she said when I can demonstrate that I am financially responsible... Who the f*** said I was not financially responsible? She discriminated against me because I am on disability and thinks the disabled are not financially responsible and wants me to irresponsibly accept a position knowing I cannot perform the essential functions of the job without pain meds at s therapeutic dose. Do you people understand what is going on? Who and where do I report this to?
